The Importance of Community Involvement in Cat Rescue with Anna Dickerson-Homan

Why is there a negative connotation around being a crazy cat person? Why don't more people get involved in Trap-Neuter-Release within their local communities?  How can we look at taking care of homeless animals as an addition in our lives? How can we bear uncomfortable, difficult conversations in order to save more lives?These are some of the many questions we explore today with Anna Dickerson-Homan, a cat rescuer and the force behind The Kitten Factory, with all those adorable pictures on Instagram! From feeding colonies to fostering kitties, she tells us how she tackles many of the feline issues (and myths) she faces so she can inspire more people to help orphaned kittens along with her. Because simply put: cats need our help! And community cats desperately need our help.In today's meow-heavy episode, Anna and I chat about what sparked her passion for rescue, the hard work that goes into TNR, and why taking action, no matter how small, is what will truly help move the needle forward when it comes to saving animals. Just. Do. Something. It takes all of us. It affects all of us. We need you. They need you. And there are so many gifts to joining an animal-loving group. Join The Animal That Changed You community on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook -- we're waiting to welcome you!
